I'm not saying that gender studies is useless. It has obviously produced many valuable insights in the past, and I'm sure plenty of academics produce high quality scholarship in this field to this day. My point is that it makes little effort to distinguish this high quality scholarship and complete nonsense.
- uoaei 4y agoStating this as some kind of obvious fact on a public forum usually requires some level of personal familiarity on the subject. Otherwise, what you are saying is literally, definitionally, "bullshit".
- Aunche 4y agoI made that qualification to acknowledge that I'm not an expert, but I've read enough on my own to make an informed judgement. Feel free to offer an alternative explanation to how such a comically absurd paper got into a prestigious journal instead of hastily declaring that I'm wrong.
- uoaei 4y ago> My point is that it makes little effort to distinguish this high quality scholarship and complete nonsense. You make such sweeping claims based on a sample size of one. You neglect to account for survivorship bias -- you cannot see all the bullshit papers that were rejected from journals. This all feels obvious to me as issues with your analysis. Where is your intellectual rigor?
- Aunche 4y agoNot a sample size of one. Out of 20 papers they published, 7 got accepted, 6 were rejected, and 7 were still undergoing review. Also, I don't think that paper is that different from the postmodernist literature that I've read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grievance_studies_affair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grievance_studies_affair
